rvings is a foolish scheme. Sup
:, ose for a moment that England
ould 90 on forever to be the worlds
purvcyor with industrial and colonial
morchandise-even then the work
ers' cooperation by means of their
own savings could not always pros
per. There must arrive Il period
when the process Of the expropria-
ton of the small capitalists by the
larger ones, and ultimately by the
few largest, must crush the cooper
atlye production of workingmen.
This is the well-known social law Of
the capitalistic system. That system
with It's double competition (of the
employers among themselves for the
markets, and of the employees for
wages must constantly diminish the
number of competitors by urder-
bidding and undertaking each other,
untll the employers become monop-
oIles 1t must, likewise, diminish
the number of employed workers
and the rate of their wages, and con-
vert the disinhe-i tied mass into OBJ
iects of charity, or body-servants and
guards of the monopolists, or crimi-
nails and paupers. Then saving be-
comes impossible for workers.
This is, of course, the ultimate
logical consequence only of the capt.
ltalistic system. In practice it can
never come so far, because the end
being clearly foreseen by even the
blndest. a revolution becomes inevi-
table. Why not, then, hasten the
end by legislation and appropriate
the expropriators and institute gen
eral cooperation with common cap
ital and democratic administration !?

The rrmbIings of the thunder around
Faneuil Hall last week are still heard.
At the regular meeting of the Central
Labor Union last Saturday, evening, the
Legislative committee which had charge
of the remonstrance against the use of
FaneuI Hall by the British hunkies
made IA lengthy report, the chief point of
which was that the English obtained the
use of the hall by fraud. Only one ma
tive citizen signed the petition asking for
it and he acknowledged that he did not
know what it was for The report con-
Cludes as follows:

COMING DOWN.
How The Masses Are Being Reduced
TO Starvation.

We used to boast once that it would
be an imposslbility for any portion
of our people to be reduced to such
Il state of pauperism as that existing
in London and other large cities OF
Europe. Yet, here, in a land where
we burn thousands of bushels of
corn, and food is allowed to rot in
the fields because it will not "pay'
railroad companies to transport 1t, IA
state of pauperism far more degrad-
ing than that of the Old World is
being created. Think Of it Ameri.
can treemen! The crubs from the
rich mans table are gathered up and
sold to the Labor that creates the
wealth of the city of New York.
The following is clipped from one of
the daily Blathers:
There has grown up near the great
food bazaar a population Of as shiftless
ard degraded poor as we shelter-people
who expect TO procure most of what they
eat by picking it out of the waste barrels
and baskets of the butchers, fishmongers
and fruiterers of the market. They send
their children TO collect this unnutritions
and often unwholsome waste, and sell

Haskell Calls Powderly Liar and II
Traitor 4 CAmStic letter.

htiN Vhu'IiN tstdI anu "
Traitor~-A CauStic Letter.
When You were here in Denver,
and had your now celebrated Sc
cret meeting, you were met with
three important questions.
The first was "Wcre You opposed
to Trades Unions =" Your reply TO
that was denial and the branding of
all your accuscrs rs liars.
The second was "Were YOU OPP
posed to the Labor Party, and was
your Harrisburg speech truly report
ed :" Your reply to that was an eya-
sion as to the Labor Party and an
absolute denial of the truth of the
whole or any part of said Harris
burg speech.
The third important issue was as
to whether YOU had ever been an ac-
tive member of the Socialist party
and had since denied your faith.
You replied to that that you never
had been an active member, but
were always opposed to them AS now.
In forty-seven other minor mat
tors you "secretly" gave the lie to
some of the best men in the labor
movement.
replied to you when You had fin
ishod, that | should investigate these
affairs; that if found out that YOU
had been lied about | would expose
the liars; and if. on the contrary,
that You had lied, that should eX-
pose you.
Since your "sccrct' meeting have
published the proof that you are an
tagonistic to the Unions, and now
brand you AS liar in denying the
same.
| also published the paoof that you
were for years an active paying mem
Der Of the Socialist party, and |
brand you rs u liar in denying it.
and as a traitor in joining the ranks
OF its enemies.
In to-day's issue, on the first page,
appears full proof that you lied as
well with a brazen front about your
Harrisburg speech. You prove
yourself in it a traitor to the labor
cause by trying to kill the Labor
Party; you proved yourself % scurvy,
cowardly rascal in denying your
treachery in "secret" while here in
Denver.
have proved, or shall prove, that
you LIED in your answers to II score
more of my fifty questions.
And ! lmpeach you now, sir, as a
traitorous rascal, a tool of the money
power, a bigot, backbitcr and liar,
before the honest workingmen of
these United States.
| dare you. sir, to prefer charges
against me for these words in the
courts of the X. of l.. You must
do this or resign the position You
disgrace. If You follow your usual
tactics and do neither you should be
pulled from the cirrule chair and
kicked out of the society of honest
men.
That you may not deny having re-
celved this letter register it to you
in the government mails.

CANADIANS LAUGH.
How Brother Jonathan Makes an ASS
Of Himself ON the Fourth Of July.

VI WI 'ht VNt III W ohbis
The Fourth of July will soon be
here and our American cousins will
be celebrating the anniversary of
their country's liberty, and will in
dulge in unlimited oratorical flap
doodle about liberty, about all men
being born free and equal and about
certain inalienable rights which have
long ago been alienated. Their ora
tors will shoot off their mouths and
the rest will shoot off frc-crackers
and guns, and all will join in making
a joyful noise in honor of liberty
which does not exist, and of equality
which is Il myth. The docile sub
jects of Jay Gould and several other
usurping potentates will jeor at the
subjects of those Kings, Queens,
etc, which the cifete countries of
Europe tolerate in their blindness.
The willing tributaries of Americas
railroad and National Bank lcechcs,
will laugh to scorn the uncomplain-
ing slaves who pay tribute to Europe's
crowned blood-suckers. Those hoarv
old chcstnuts which the late Mr.. p.
Henry and the two Toms, Jefferson
and Paine, gave utterance to, will
again be trotted out to tickle the
ears of people, who are so dull and
stupid that they do not recognize in
these same old sayings the very sent
iments which, when they are uttered
off Fourth Of July platform, they
denounce rs socialistic, communist
ic and anarchistic. The Thomas
Jefferson democrats and the Abra-
ham Lincoln "repubicans" will de-
clare their undying faith and dcvo-
ton to sentiments which, when any
man uttcrs them now. they cry "away
with him ! cruelty him !" Or, as the
modern version of the same senti~
mcnt reads: Kill the blank Socialist.
Truly It's enough to make sensible
people laugh to think what an exhi-
bltlon our cousins are about to make
of themselves, and Eli? What's
that you say, Brother Jonathan? ?
Are we Canadians u bit better?
Don't we tolerate the same system of
iniquity and injustice, and don't we,
fool-like, laugh the same truths to
scorn, when any one is brave enough
or foolish enough to utter them in
this mocking, sneering, truth con
temning world?
Oh, come off, now. That's not
fair. Our sermon was specially pre-
pared for the edification of Yankees
and other United States people. We
didn't want the mirror held up to
ourselves that way. 1t wouldn't be
so bad if we could deny that the re-
Election we see therein is the picture
of a Canadian. But you know it's
ever so much more pleasant and
agreeable to moralizc about the faults
of other folks than to candidly eX-
anime our own. However, since you
ask us the question straight, and as
it is neither convenient nor pleasant
to acknowledge the truth, while
like your own Mr.. Washington, we
cannot tell a lie, suppose we bury the
hatchet. In the meantime let every
country enjoy in its own way the ex-
quisite pleasure of being robbed by
monopolists, while our platitudenarl-
ans soothe us with copious doses of
patriotic brag about freedom, pros
perity and national greatness. .-ta-
